A
newly released investigative report from the Institute for Gulf
Affairs (IGA) based in Washington, D.C. details what they have
referred to as “one of the biggest terrorist threats against the
United States homeland.”
The
report “From American College Campuses to ISIS Camps: How Hundreds
of Saudis Joined ISIS in the U.S.” describes how Saudi nationals
living in the U.S. have left to join internationally-recognized
terrorist groups like Daesh (ISIS) and al-Nusra in large numbers –
a fact that was known to top Saudi government officials but was
intentionally never shared with the U.S. government.
The
investigation found that approximately 400 Saudi and Kuwaiti citizens
who were living in the United States – most of whom were studying
abroad on Saudi government-issued scholarships – later left to join
terrorist groups. Many of them are U.S.-Saudi dual citizens who were
born in the U.S. while their parents studied abroad.
